Children of Thomas Todd and his wife Anna 4 Gorsuch:
viii. Averilla 5 Todd, probably born after Apr. 5, 1669, as she is not given among her father's headrights.
Mentioned in her father's will 1675-6.
Under the will of her step-father David Jones Feb. 3, 1686-7 Abiell [Averilla] Todd was left Jones Fortin [Fortune) 130 acres. This is doubtless the same tract as Jones Chance, 130 acres, on Old Road Creek, patented by David Jones under a survey dated June 12, 1682. (Balto. Co. Rent Roll, Md. Hist. Soc. MSS.)
No later reference to Averilla Todd has been found. Although it cannot be certainly identified from the Rent Roll, 30 acres of this tract in 1700 appears to have been in the possession of James Todd and 100 acres in the possession of Robert Johnson, to whom James Todd had sold it. It looks as if Averilla may have died unmarried and that her brother James had inherited from her.
